Abstract
The fact that detonation, or knocking, in an internal combustion engine is a function of many related and unrelated
variables has caused considerable difficulty in the field of detonation research end engine design. To date,
the practice has been to study the effect of these variables
one at a time, endeavoring to hold all other variables
constant. The purpose of this investigation is to
hold all variables constant except the valve overlap and
to thereby determine the detonation-limited characteristics
of this variable alone.
